Description
Plink Dash, short for 'priority link dash,' is a high-level technique used in fighting games to achieve faster and more fluid movement. This maneuver involves canceling one action into a dash by pressing and releasing buttons in a precise sequence. The term 'Plink' comes from the combination of 'priority' and 'link,' indicating the technique's reliance on the game's input priority system. Plink Dashing allows players to traverse the battlefield more quickly, dodge incoming attacks, and position themselves strategically. It's a skill that requires practice to master, as it demands precise timing and dexterity. While not all fighting games support Plink Dashing, those that do often feature it as a staple in advanced play, contributing to the depth and complexity of the game's mechanics.
Examples
- In 'Street Fighter V,' Plink Dash is used to quickly close the distance between characters, allowing for faster approach and retreat strategies.
- In 'Marvel vs. Capcom 3,' players employ Plink Dashing to maintain pressure on their opponents, combining it with aerial attacks and combos for devastating results.
Additional Information
- Mastering Plink Dash can give players a significant advantage in competitive play.
- The technique is not universally applicable across all fighting games and may differ in execution based on the game's mechanics.
